"Ruiz's driver is good looking, I like it but it's dangerous." Trina.
I sighed and sat next to her to clean the wound in her other hand.
"They are not Trina, this is their house. They are not drivers." I sighed and sat next to her to clean the wound in her other hand.
"Huh?" she faced me so I stopped what I was doing. "Not Ruiz's driver? Then, who are they? Is this kidnapping? Help!"
I pulled her hair to stop her from thinking.
"I didn't go with Ruiz in the end because I found out that Gezel is the reason why the media knows our place. He didn't believe me again even though the proof was already in front of him" I explained to her before pulling her hand back and so I could go back cleaning her wounds.
"That b*tch! What's wrong with that girl? Omygod, she made my blood pressure higher quickly!" She said annoyingly but suddenly a question came to her mind that made her look at me confused. "But if not Ruiz? Who are they? Do you know them? Friend? I'm only your friend!"
"I wouldn't go with Avriell if I didn't know one of them," I stood up to put my used towel on the table. "The one you called driver, that's Avriell's dad."
When I looked at her she was already shocked and a little mad. I stopped her when she tried to go upstairs.
"Are you serious about what you're saying?" Her voice starts to high, she can't believe what decision I make. "You didn't go with Ruiz because of Gezel but you went with the man who ruined your life, are you crazy?"
"I don't have a choice Trina," I argued. "We wouldn't be able to leave there safely if it wasn't because of him. Look at you, what if we didn't leave because I used my pride, it might happen to me and Avriell too. The media was so angry about my explanation, you know that."
She sighed and eventually nodded, understanding why I did that.
"So, you're going to live here? With Avriell?" She asked gently.
"I'll think about it, but now we're safer here. He has people that make us safe." I said and gestured to her to go upstairs. "Come and rest, Avriell is already upstairs. We'll talk about everything tomorrow."
She nodded and she immediately followed me from the back. We did not totally enter where Avriell was, the door next to it opened. Dan came out and motioned me to enter the room he came out of.
"You guys have something to talk about." It said before completely passing us and getting down.
I gestured to Trina to get in alone so she could see and rest with Avriell. She tapped my back before she nodded. I breath out before knocking the door and slowly open it. When I already entered, I saw him sitting solemnly in the black chair as he looked out the window, watching the scenery outside. Before I came closer, I looked for the light to turn on because it was very dark, that's the reason I caught his all attention when the light turned on.
"Dan said we need something to talk about." I acted normally.
"I just followed what you said earlier," his gaze turned to me.
I held my breath.
"What I said earlier, that's true. I'm willing to be your company's brand ambassador." I said in confidence.
"And beat Glowsy Cosmetics." He added. "Where your rivals are working as a brand ambassador, do we understand each other?"
I nodded. "Avriell and Trina, in everything I do make sure they are protected and that they don't get hurt because if I can agree with you, I can take it back if something happens to them."
"Nothing to worry about, they will be safe." He simply said before putting a brand new phone in front of me. "You need to change your phone, for security."
I took the phone without any question anymore.
"By the way, are you going to introduce Avriell to the media?" He suddenly asked.
"I won't introduce her but I won't deny her either." I can't deny my daughter.
"Okay then, it was your choice but be careful of your words." He reminded me. "Mostly on Avriell's dad, about me Maureen. Gezel can use that if ever."
"It is not easy to stop the media from asking questions, I know they won't stop unless they are satisfied and answer all their questions." I know how the media works and it was hard to handle it.
"You've been gone for a few years, it's not hard to believe that you've been in a relationship so that will always be your statement if someone asks you about Avriell's father. Avriell's age will not be known, I can assure that so just do everything I will say and don't make a move that I don't agree with." He shrugged. "And that will stop on that, don't include my name or my personal identity because maybe my face on the video was blurred but Gezel can recognize me and she can absolutely use that if ever people know that I am the father of Avriell. That I was helping you. She can make the story worse than you expected. Remember, every statement of hers will be one hundred percent true while you are still in progress."
I thought about that too, she could use it because once she found out that I was working with him and she told it to the media, people might think that I really like what happened which is not. That I really cheated to Ruiz.
"I understand," I agreed.
"Then good, by the way tomorrow will be your start of training." He announced.
"What?" My brows furrowed. "Did I need to be trained? I still know."
"You still need, and it's not just training in modeling, for your protection too if it will still have time, the more prepared you are, the better." It's reasoning. "And you need to lose some weight too, so get ready tomorrow."
"Are you saying that I am fat?" I can't stop myself from feeling irritated because of what he said.
"That was not what I stated," he defended himself. "It was just, it was easier for you to work as our brand ambassador if you had your body back then, more fitter and sexier than a weight you have right now."
"So I was sexy before?"
"Did you need to ask me that question?"
"Okay, never mind."
I was almost at the door to get out when he spoke.
"Yes." He said.
